"Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be
condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
Every prayer must contain an element of confession. We are
not all God means for us to be. We are finite creatures in every
respect. We need His mercy, His compassion, His amazing grace. So
we pray for forgiveness and sometimes we pray for the ability to
forgive.
(Luke 6.37
NRSV)
Edith Bunker, on the television show "ALL IN THE FAMILY,"
described the confessional boxes in the Roman Catholic Church as
"telephone booths to God." Well, maybe they are not quite that.
Lord Jesus, give me a great capacity to forgive others, as you have graciously forgiven me.
Amen.
